Manually Adding a Pharmacy

  • NCPDP ID is the unique, national identification number assigned by the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) to every licensed pharmacy in the United States and its territories.
  • All Pharmacies being used for electronic prescribing, must have an ‘NCPDP ID’. Surescripts will NOT accept any Pharmacies that do not contain this information.
